Be an artist. Challenge everything.
To me, art isn't about the paintbrush or chisel. It's not about the profession or expensive liberal arts degree.
It's about tapping into our humanity.
Art is the manifestation of creativity. And creativity is the purest form of humanity. We are most human when we are creating. When we're exploring and testing limitations.
In my mind, anyone can be an artist -- a doctor, teacher, pilot. An artist is anyone who pushes boundaries.
Together we are human. Together we are artists. Let's create.
“An artist is anyone who pushes boundaries.”
Through art I strive to shake up my own expectations. I strive to work with and move materials in unexpected ways. I use art to connect to the universal and the personal. And through art I connect with others.
I am a multi-media artist based out of Portland, Oregon. I have more than a decades worth of experience in leading, collaborating, designing, and creating in metal, glass, paint, wood, and more.
Yes, "and more" is accurate. I refuse to stop exploring new mediums and ideas.
